This is a new WM for FreeBSD. I've seen it on Vermaden's Valuable News. It's not mentioned anywhere in the FBSD forums according to a quick search, so here it goes.

Edit: The developers are calling it a DE, not a WM.

I also saw that, was interested at first but as I read more I got more and more uninterested.
One of the things I like about FreeBSD is that you have information about something (on the handbook and so on) and you can replicate it step by step (and use your brain to decide whether to skip something or not). OmFreeBDy is something like "run this shell script and we will install stuff you may or may not want to get you to a tilling wm" (good for them on the Wayland + X11 route).

Just the base install are 83 packages (some you already have if you have wayland/x11) but for example the base package pulls cups and spotify-player (why?), then you have the wayland / x11 packages for hyperland or i3.

In my opinion this should not be called a "DE" for FreeBSD but something like what GhostBSD is for FreeBSD (specially the newer releases), which is a "distro".

But anyway, to which its own and that is also how the world will know if this is successful :)

Thanks for posting AlfredoLlaquet :)
